\There are Times When Silence is a Sin\: The Women's Division of the American Jewish Congress and the Anti-Nazi Boycott Movement
2001
Overview
The role of the Women's Division of the American Jewish Congress in the 1933-1941 boycott of German-made goods is investigated. Factors that led to the development of the Women's Division are examined; an overview of the Women's Division's objectives in combating Nazi Germany is also provided, emphasizing its work in assisting refugees & confronting anti-Semitism in the US. It is claimed that the Women's Division aided the boycott against Nazi German products by providing consumer awareness to local communities, organizing local boycott movements, ensuring business compliance with boycott standards, & picketing businesses that sold German-made goods. Moreover, it is stated that the Women's Division justified their boycott participation by asserting that their actions were patriotic in nature & promoted American democracy, that they were obligated as Jewish women to help fellow Jews around the world, & that traditional gender roles did not prohibit their participation. It is concluded that the Women's Division did impact local & national policy & facilitated the emergence of Jewish consciousness in the US. J. W. Parker
